Description
This is the best political music CD Ive heard since George Bush got selected in 2000. A lot of the political CDs from the last 6 years are filled with more angst than talent. But the musical chops on this one are equal to the politically charged lyrics. Lee Courtney, Music Director Community Radio WMNF 88.5 Tampa
"Power To The People" features original songs -- and four covers of old favorites -- about protest, free speech, electoral dysfunction and general angst about the state of the nation. Timed to correspond with the mid-term elections, this cd features a wide range of musical styles - from the world groove of Cold Joon to Addek's gripping hip-hop version of Dylan's classic "Masters of War" - with acoustic rock, blues and Americana in between.
Performer & track info:
Power To The People by Southeast Music Alliance (featuring The Chorus Angelorum)
A church choir plus Tampa Bays rock n roll heavyweights create a new take on an old favorite.
Independence Day by Lorna Bracewell: "Lorna's singing and songwriting are what set her apart and will ultimately take her to the star stage. Her singing is sweet, husky, seductive or hard, depending on the song." Music Industry News Network
My Nations Not Well by Cold Joon: Traditional West African percussion with pop, reggae, R&B and Anti-Georgie politics.
Landlocked Blues by Geri X: Although only 17, Geri X's haunting songs show a remarkable maturity, both lyrically and musically. Tampa Tribune
I Dont Hear Freedom Ring Anymore by Ronny Elliott: From Valentine Roadkill, Mojo Magazines #5 of the ten best albums of 2005. In the crazy state of Florida, Hillbilly veteran Ronny Elliott is a rare oasis of wry insight, hard truths and shimmering beauty. London Daily Mirror
Con Game by Jimmy Griswold: Screaming guitars, infectious grooves, blues-based R&B flavor with fresh and original sound.
Masters of War by Addek: "Addek helps reinvigorate the concept of rap as social and political commentary, razor-sharp music for the 21st century." Tampa Tribune
Dangerous George and Capitol Hill by Lori Karpay: Wickedly clever commentaries set to quirky tunes from one of Tampas favorite poets.
Ronda Ronda (Ridin The Storms Out) by Ricky Wilcox and The Moonsnakes: First release of an irreverent response to infamous local politician, Ronda Storms.
Protest by Joran Slane: "An emotive - but definitely not emo - blend of guitar anthemics and electro atmosphere." Weekly Planet
I Dont Know My Neighbors Anymore by Charlie Morris: "Charlie's guitar work, both electric and acoustic is very well done, not too flashy -- just perfect for the blues. Tampa Bay Musician
Ohio by The Threads: Imagine if Neil Young joined Cheap Trick. This rendition shows why Tampa Bay cant get enough of The Threads infectious power pop and straight-up rock.
Bomb Rayzilla's PBS (Peruvian Butt Singers): Ray Villadonga's Peruvian Butt Singers ensemble blends jazz and world music with abandon. The Weekly Planet
Radio Station Abomination by Crash Mitchell: Sing-along about the radio conglomeration everyone loves to hate. Naturally, one of the most played songs on Community Radio WMNF 88.5 FM in Tampa.
